Additional Details:
Blockhouses and soldier's barracks of the "Third Fort Dearborn" reappear on the shore of Lake Michigan as part of A Century of Progress Exposition - Chicago's 1933 World's Fair. Built according to the specifications for the original fort, whose inhabitants were victims of the Dearborn Massacre in 1812. This quaint log-built stronghold has already become a magnet for thousands of visitors.
